Check field has 1st 5 chars entered

[JSMITH242B]

How can I check that a field has the first 5 characters entered?

TIA

If you mean that you want to check if a field has at least 5 characters in it, this would work:

if (document.forms['yourFormName'].elements['yourFieldName'].value.length < 5) alert('You need to enter at least 5 characters!');

Hope this helps,

Cheers Dan.
I did use this in the end.

It was strange that the .length property did not come up on the intellisense which confused me so I ended up doing the following

var Results = document.myform.fieldname.value
var Results2 = results.length


then I used if results < 5 ...

Thanks all the same!!
